Product information "EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC Solarix Solar Filter Film A4"
- For DIY construction of objective filters for smartphone cameras, telescopes, binoculars, photo and video cameras.
- Newly developed solar filter film with the optical quality of a high-quality glass filter but with the durability of a polymer film.
- Double protective filter thanks to the polymer carrier material with an additional reflective coating.
- Produces a very natural bright-yellow solar image.
- Also suitable for high magnifications.
- Very uniform brightness distribution.
- Ideal for visual and photographic use.
- Very low weight and therefore requires no additional counterweights.
- Extremely flat surface compared to most other film filters, which very easily develop creases and kinks.
- Very resistant to damage.
- Lab tested to DIN EN ISO 12312-2 : 2015-11
- 100% safe

- Check the solar filter before every solar observation and ensure that it is not damaged. Hold it against a strong light source to detect any possible cracks and/or holes. Do not use the telescope for solar observation, even if the solar filter is only slightly damaged. In this case, contact the manufacturer for the appropriate replacement parts.
- Always use the included solar filter when observing the sun. Make sure it is correctly attached to the telescope according to the instructions. The use of the solar filter is only intended in connection with this telescope.
- Never look at the sun through an eyepiece/telescope without a certified protection filter. A moon filter can never be used for solar observation. The moon filter is only suitable for moon observation. The solar filter must be mounted in front of the telescope opening, not at the eyepiece. Otherwise, the concentrated light beam through the optics will immediately destroy the filter foil, leading to severe eye damage, including permanent blindness.
- Check the secure fit of the solar filter before each solar observation. An accidental detachment from the objective opening can lead to immediate and permanent eye damage and blindness.
- If the solar filter cannot be securely attached to the tube, improve the fit by placing several self-adhesive felt strips or similar between the solar filter and the objective opening. Never use the solar filter if it cannot be properly mounted on the telescope. In such a case, always contact our customer service first.
- Be extremely cautious when observing the sun. A brief look through the unprotected optics will immediately cause severe eye damage, potentially leading to complete blindness.
- Children should not look at the sun through the telescope, even with the filter properly installed. Never leave children unsupervised.
- Never leave the optics unattended. Children and inexperienced adults could point the telescope at the sun without proper precautions and lose their eyesight.
- Do not observe the sun after eye surgeries or other eye conditions without prior medical consultation.
- Wrinkles/creases in the film are normal and do not indicate a product defect.
- Do not expose the device to high temperatures.
